Quick thrush question

[VixieTrix]

Poor Blue has a touch of thrush in his feet - think just to all the rubbish weather!

I plan to wash them out with hibi scrub every evening and dry them throughly with a towel, then apply purple spray, + pick out twice a day)

He's neevr had this before so wanted to check you guys think this is enough??

thank you

It may disappear with the treatment your planning if he's only got a touch of it, however I always used blue spray (have to get it prescribed by the vets) it's much stronger and gets rid of it quicker

If your purple spray is the Hoofmaster stuff you'll be fine, but that purple iodine spray from tack shops for use on minor wounds won't help much.

Washing with Epsom Salts might better (and is cheaper) than Hibiscrub. Epsom Salts will help dry the affected bits out, which you need to do if you're going to get the better of thrush, it just loves moisture - but then you already know that!!!!!

I always tub in salt water, I found that works. If bad I would then cover with tar,

I've always soaked and then scrubbed with hibiscrub and it has cleared up within a week or so.
